, ‘ a r ORUNKEN Looting of Wine Cellars Is wause of Many Atrocities, It Is Charged. WOMAN HELD AS A SPY. ) Red Cross Worker Says She: Narrowly Escaped Being Executed. LONDON, Sept. 2.—Paul Hymans, a member of the Belgian Commission Going to the United States to protest against alleged German cruelty, said to-day: “I personally saw the havoc wrought by the bombs thrown into Antwerp, and | know how barbarous was the attack of the Zeppelin air- ship. It was not civilized warfare, but barbarism. | saw the mangled bodies of women servants in their attic rooms, killed by bombs hurled correspondent at Antwerp says that one certainty which emerges from the chaos of con- | flicting evidence concerning the suck- | fag of Louvain is that the pretext was a ghastly mistake of German soldiers. “My theory,” he adds, “is that Ger- man soldiers, who fired on their own | troops, were hopelessly drunk, and | that the edy of Louvain is! primarily a tragedy of bestial intem- | perance, and only secondarily a tragedy of brutal cruelty. "This theory ap-lies also to Aer- echot. I am convinced th’ liquor played an appalling part in the con- duct of the Ger an campaign in) Belgium.

While trying to get from Brussels through the German lines she was arrested with her party outside of Louvain and taken in a coal truck to Tongres, where, she declared, she was sub- mitted to Insulting treatment at the hands of German officers as a sus- pected spy. Mrs. Stobart and her party spent the night in a guard room, expecting to be shot in the morning. They were, however, sent to Cologne. They were deprived of all their documents and mobbed by crowds of howling German soldiers at Liege, Aachern © and other stopping places. They were finally berated and escaped through Holland after encountering many difficulties. aca GERMAN BARON WHO WED. NEW YORK WOMAN IS HELD IN LONDON FOR ESPIONAGE.

He had been instantly killed. Young Wetherill, who was twenty- eight years old, had been taken ill, according to the girl, and she had un- dertaken to care for him.

At the same instant Policeman Saintangelo of the East Sixty-seventh street station rounded the corner of Sixtieth street and almost stumbled man's body. From shriek and she rushed to the side- walk.
